[MARCIANUS libro nono institutionum. ] §38.2.29.prQui ex causa fideicommissi manumittitur, est quidem libertus manumissoris et tam contra tabulas quam ab intestato ad bona eius uenire potest quasi patronus: sed operas ei imponere non potest nec impositas ab eo petere. §38.2.29.1Sed si defunctus filio suo legauit seruum et rogauit, ut eum manumittat, ea mente, ut plenum ius patroni habeat, defendendum est posse eum operas iure imponere.
[MARCIANUS, in the ninth book of Institutes.]\n\nA person who is manumitted by virtue of a fideicommissum is indeed the freedman of the manumitter, and can succeed to his estate as if he were a patron, both against the will and on intestacy; but the manumitter cannot impose services upon him, nor demand from him services already imposed.\n\nBut if the deceased bequeathed a slave to his son and requested him to manumit the slave, with the intention that the son should have the full right of a patron, it must be maintained that the son can legally impose services.
